You care more about what other people think more than anybody I've come across on this board. I've never seen someone defend anything like you do with that rathole of a neighborhood. You care what other people think like nobody else I've seen.

Edit: just saw your edit. Lol your sensationalism knows no bounds. You probably mutter curses to yourself about ignorant ole "billybob" while perusing meat for tonight's dinner at the supermarket. If you need me to explain that to you, then let me know.

Liberals out number Republicans in NY 1 to 6. In this board, it's more like 1 to 30.

As long as I'm not in the South Bronx. Rather be homeless in Manhattan.

This board goes far beyond liberalism, with its long term public assistance clients. I'm not sayin that to be offensive, its true and many have outed themselves.

I can remember the decline of NYC beginning in the the mid to late 1960′s that continued until end of the Dinkins Administration. Decades of Progressive leadership stretching all the way back to the incorporation of the City in the late 19th century was temporarily suspended due to financial constraints in the 1970′s and 1980′s and the past 20 years of adult supervision (Neither Guiliani nor Bloomberg were/are perfect btw). The only recent encore was the Dinkin's four year run that reminded New Yorkers that going along to get along was a recipe for disaster.

There is a whole new crop of New Yorkers who were either not around for that era or have decided to rewrite history in order to romanticize a period of absolute physical and civil decay. I do not forget and there was nothing good about it. Ironically, the past 20 years of relatively positive advancement interrupted by 9/11 laid the foundation for New Yorker’s desire to experiment with Progressive/Social leadership. I see nothing good to come of this, but good luck, Y'all.

Texan2yankee: That's funny that you talk about rewriting history.. I too despise that. Tell us how you think history was pre 1960.

You sound OLD. Like a relic from another era whose time on this planet is just about over.

Aren't there some senior citizen things you should be focusing on in your twilight years in Texas, than worrying about what's going on in NYC?

Marilynn, I guess I am getting old and still come to see family in NYC often. Also, I loathe to see destruction of the city happen again. I am just getting squishy in my advancing years. Damn it!!!
